"Master, Mo's license plate has also been returned." A Ning handed Mo's number plate to Su Jinyao.

Su Jinyao took it and looked at it, and said, "You can keep it for him first." I'll give it to him when he and Che come back. I don't want to say anything sensational to him, I know that he will be just as loyal to Che, so there is no need to talk about any conditions, just give it to him. ”

A-Ning held two license plates in his hands, his shoulders slowly trembled, and finally his eyes were moist and a tear fell.

"Fool, why are you still crying? If I knew that you were so vulnerable, I would have just stopped giving you this. Su Jinyao pulled A-Ning over, wiped the tears from her cheeks, and said, "Okay, I'll ask Mingjuan to clean up your room, and you can live in peace in the future." You don't have to hide your identity all the time, you are my guard, not my shadow. I'll pay you a monthly fee, and I'll give you a day off every month to let you go out and have fun on your own. ”

Listening to Su Jinyao's words, A-Ning "poofed", broke into laughter, and said: "Even if the master lets me out, I'm afraid that I will panic if I walk on the street; You pay me for it, and I don't know how to use it. still follows the master, and his heart is very steady. ”

Su Jinyao said: "I didn't let you run all over the street now." Slowly integrate into society and return to ordinary life, and you will adapt. I can guarantee that you will love life more and more. ”

After that, Su Jinyao asked Mingjuan to take A-Ning to the next room, and asked Mingjuan to prepare a few sets of new clothes for A-Ning.

Leaving Mingrui and Mingcui to prepare bath water for Su Jinyao, Su Jinyao soaked in peace of mind

Take a bath and go to bed early.

In the next few days, Su Jinyao focused on two things. One thing was to go to the Ministry of Industry and ask Feng Zhongjing for a map of the distribution of several rivers in the south.

Because he donated the five hundred taels of silver last time, Feng Zhongjing's attitude towards Su Jinyao immediately became positive.

And Su Jinyao briefly stated her purpose, although she did not mention the matter of digging a canal, but also said that she wanted to find a way to control the flood.

For the floods in the south, the entire Ministry of Industry is already anxious. Although the Ministry of Industry is not solely responsible for disaster relief, as long as there is a breach of the embankment and the flood affects the people, the Ministry of Industry must be afraid to take the blame.

But in reality, the instability of the dikes and flooding are not all the problems of the Ministry of Industry. There are not so many corrupt officials who are thinking about the money to build the dams.

Now Su Jinyao promised the Ministry of Labor to find a way, and the Ministry of Labor wished that someone would come and help them carry this pot.

Even if something goes wrong in the future, Su Jinyao can't be blamed, and the responsibility of the Ministry of Industry is much smaller.

Therefore, Feng Zhongjing not only provided Su Jinyao with a detailed river distribution map, but also gave Su Jinyao relevant documents and records of the situation obtained from the investigation of floods over the years.

Su Jinyao also analyzes it carefully every day, and if she doesn't understand something, she has to ask Feng Zhongjing again, which can be regarded as being very busy.

Another thing is that several fetal pills have been prepared for Princess Moma, which are available in all periods, so it can be said that she is prepared.

Just in case, Su Jinyao deliberately went to the treasure house of the Prince's Mansion to find a five-hundred-year-old red ginseng and grind it for medicine. With the assistance of other rare medicinal materials, two life-saving pills were made.

Red ginseng can replenish qi and blood, and these two pills Su Jinyao plans to give them to Helian Ruo and Mo Ma respectively. In case the two of them encounter special circumstances during childbirth, holding the pill in their mouths can save their lives.

Su Jinyao thinks that no matter what, the most important thing is to save the lives of adults first.

The two pills were respectively packed in a delicate porcelain bottle, and the one that Su Jinyao instructed to give to Moma was sent to Mingjuan, and she had to hand it over to Moma.

As for Helian Ruo's one, Su Jinyao planned to send it to the door herself.

Su Jinyao went to Helian Mansion again, Helian Ruo seemed to be about to be excited, it seemed that he was really raised too well, and he was too lonely.

However, Su Jinyao was also curious: "Why did you only see you alone when you came here twice?" I remember that your husband was very sticky to you. ”

Helian Ruo's face turned red when he heard this, and he glared at Su Jinyao with a shyness on his face, and said, "Don't mention him, he was sent to sea by me." I can't travel far, Tianqi still has to be in charge of business, and he is not very familiar with things at sea, so I have to let him run it himself. ”

Su Jinyao smiled and said, "Haha, then when he comes back, isn't Xiao Biesheng newly married?" You have to pay attention to your body. ”

Helian Ruo reached over and twisted Su Jinyao's arm. But I didn't use any force, I just frolicked with her. Then he said: "He doesn't dare to come back, baby his baby." ”

Saying that, Helian Ruo also patted his stomach and said, "He said that this time it should be a girl, and he likes girls very much, so he spoiled me like this." ”

Su Jinyao pulled Helian Ruo's wrist and said, "I'll give you a diagnosis, and now you can almost know men and women." ”

Sympathy with Helian Ruo

When Su Jinyao checked Helian Ruo's pulse, the corners of Helian Ruo's nervous mouth were tightly pursed. After the consultation, Su Jinyao slowly put Helian Ruo's hand back, but she didn't make a sound.

Helian Ruo was a little anxious and asked, "Is it a man or a woman?" It won't be two again. ”

Su Jinyao shook her head and said, "It's not twins." If so, I'll know it the first time I check your pulse. ”

"What the hell is going on, you're talking." Helian Ruo pushed Su Jinyao and said, "Don't scare me." Two days ago, didn't you still say that the baby is healthy? ”

"I didn't say the baby was unhealthy." Su Jinyao smiled and said, "Although the month is still a little small, it can already be diagnosed that this little guy is alive and well, and he is very energetic." Soon, once the fetal movement starts, you can stand it. ”

"So......" Helian Ruo's face turned pale, and said, "Not a little princess?" ”

"That's right, it's a little prince." Su Jinyao smiled and said, "This time, it was your favorite wife, the prince, who guessed wrong." ”

Helian Ruo also looked a little disappointed, and said: "It's not that I don't like boys, as long as it is born to Lan Shuo, naturally I love it to the bones." However, there are three boys in the family, but there is only one girl, which is too unbalanced. ”

Su Jinyao took Helian Ruo's hand and said, "I really don't know what you're worried about." The royal family pays attention to having many sons and grandchildren, and there must be a succession to the throne. You still think there are too many boys? ”

Yes, ordinary people, and there is no throne to inherit, what do you want a boy to do?

And Helian's family is different, although Canglan Shuo is the title of a prince, but he was originally a genuine crown prince.

Even Helian Tianqi is the eldest grandson of the authentic emperor. So, maybe when a certain little prince of Helian Ruosheng will be able to inherit the throne.

Helian Ruo shook his head when he heard this and said, "Lan Shuo didn't want to succeed to the throne at the beginning, I understand his psychology of wanting to be free. In the same way, I don't force my sons to care about that vacancy. ”

Su Jinyao was stunned when she heard this, and said, "Listening to what you mean, it seems that we are uncomfortable." ”

Helian Ruo smiled and said, "Yes, you are the real crown princess, so you have to hurry up and spread the branches for the royal family." ”

Su Jinyao pursed her lips, touched her stomach and said, "Forget it, don't talk about this, I came today for something important." The first thing to do is to give gifts. ”

Su Jinyao said, took out the porcelain bottle containing the red life pill, and said, "This is for you, although I don't want you to be able to use it, but it can be regarded as a guarantee." ”

After that, Su Jinyao handed the porcelain vase to Helian Ruo, and then told her to take it with her. Especially when it comes to production, give it to the most trusted person in advance, and if there is a bad situation, press the pill under the tongue and hold it.

Helian Ruo took it and opened it to take a look, and then put it in a tether he carried with him. Then asked Su Jinyao, "What is the second thing?" ”

"How's your research on the waterways? I haven't been idle these days, and I've studied several rivers and tributaries in the south, just waiting for your family's waterway route to be agreed, and I'll delineate the range. ”

After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she asked Mingcui to hand over a picture scroll, which was the trend of the river marked after Su Jinyao sorted it out.

Helian Ruo is not a woman who can only sit and enjoy happiness, this huge Helian family

She founded it all by herself, so naturally she is a little bit different.

Therefore, she can also understand the picture unfolded by Su Jinyao. So I moved the diagram over and looked at it carefully.

After reading it, Helian Ruo said: "Actually, I have a rough idea of the distribution of Helian's waterway business. In the past few days, Tianqi and I have sorted out all the waterway shipping routes. Based on your picture, I think the canal should start from here, pass through here, here, and here......"

Helian Ruo said as he delineated several ranges on the map with a referring pen.

Su Jinyao also looked at it very seriously, sometimes frowning, sometimes nodding.

After Helian Ruo finished speaking, Su Jinyao took a deep breath because she felt an invisible pressure.

It can be said that Helian Ruo is the most speculative friend she has ever met, and she doesn't need to say it very clearly, but the thoughts of the two are extremely consistent.

Even the location of the canal marked on this map is not much different from what Su Jinyao imagined in her heart.

The reason why Su Jinyao demarcated the route of the canal in advance was also based on the geographical location and business district distribution of the river.

Now it seems that the place chosen by Helian Ruo, and the distribution of business, is precisely the place where the business opportunities are most prosperous and trade is the best in the whole south. Presumably, this is not a coincidence, but because of Helian Ruo's unique vision.

Helian Ruo saw that Su Jinyao just inhaled, but was silent for a while, so he said, "Okay, I have an opinion." What do you think? ”

"These two are slightly different, and here is the biggest controversy." Su Jinyao also drew three areas on the map with a finger pen, and then said: "Whether the scope of your painting is more appropriate, or the location I choose is more favorable, I'm afraid I will have to wait until the field trip to decide." What do you think? ”

Helian Ruo nodded and said, "Indeed, the words on paper are just empty dreams, and there is no way to definitively define them without field investigations. ”

Su Jinyao stretched out her hand towards Helian Ruo and said, "Helian Ruo, our initial cooperation is considered to be successful, and I like you very much as a partner." ”

Helian Ruo smiled and stretched out his hand, clasped Su Jinyao's hand tightly, and said, "Happy cooperation." It seems that you really can't be my daughter-in-law, and you are more suitable to be my sister. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and there was really a feeling of sympathy for each other.

Su Jinyao and Helian Ruo talked for a while, and then left.

Before leaving, Helian Ruo said, "Can you leave that picture of yours?" When Tianqi comes back, I'll let him take another look. Maybe by the time you implement your plan, I won't be able to leave the house here, so in the end, you and Tianqi will have to cooperate. ”

Su Jinyao smiled and put the map on the table and said, "Okay, put it here for you." I'll pick it up the day after tomorrow. ”

Helian Ruo nodded and said, "I wish you came every day." It's best to talk to me when you're fine. ”

Su Jinyao nodded, said "definitely", and left with Mingrui and Mingcui.

At this time, it was still early, Su Jinyao thought about it, and planned to go to the palace. First, to see the emperor's physical condition, and second, to ask the ninth princess how she is.

Of course, Su Jinyao's main purpose is to get to the bottom of the matter of digging the canal with the emperor. This is a major event, not only related to the lives of the people, but also related to the economic strength of the entire country.

It doesn't matter if you're a nobleman

No matter how strong Su Jinyao is, she is still only the crown princess, and this matter really has to go on, of course, it still needs the emperor's decree to count.

It's just that Su Jinyao thought in her heart, how can she get the emperor to agree to dig the canal?

It stands to reason that this should be performed by the ministers of the DPRK and China, and then handed over to the Ministry of Industry to carry out the performance. Now that Su Jinyao is acting as a substitute, she is afraid of being criticized.

But if Su Jinyao didn't care, she only put forward her opinions. The Ministry of Industry has to distribute things layer by layer, and has to wait for appropriations from the Ministry of Households, but I am afraid that we will have to consider the mobilization of manpower and material resources, and the start of the canal will be far away.

But no matter what, Su Jinyao wanted to try it with her own strength.

If the emperor can't make sense here, he can only wait for Gu Xuebin to come back, or for the favorite wife of Canglanshuo to come back.

It's dusk, so it's supposed to be dinner time, or maybe you've just finished eating.

Su Jinyao came to the outside of the emperor's bedroom, but happened to see Yuguiren get off the sheep cart from the other side and was about to go inside.

Yuguiren also saw Su Jinyao, so he stopped, waited for Su Jinyao to come closer, and said with a smile: "Why is the crown princess here?" ”

Su Jinyao said directly: "There is one thing I want to ask my father and the emperor, it is more urgent, so I don't care about it." ”

Yuguiren looked at Su Jinyao with some curiosity, and then said, "I have never thought that you are a very assertive woman. I didn't expect you to ask others what they mean? ”

Su Jinyao was stunned, and secretly pondered Yu Guiren's words several times, and made sure that Yu Guiren had no malicious intentions, but was just straightforward, so she replied: "Everything in the world is in the hands of the imperial power, and I naturally have to listen to my father's will." ”

Listening to Su Jinyao's words, Yuguiren answered so officially, his mind also turned a few corners, and then said, "Could it be that you want to ask the emperor about state affairs?" ”

"Sort of. The flood in the south, I want to share my father's worries. After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she walked in with the Yu Guiren, and couldn't help but ask: "Then the Yu Gui is not here just to accompany his father to dine, right?" ”

Yuguiren smiled and said, "That's not true. The emperor never announced that I had come here to share dinner. When I was most favored, it was just the emperor who moved to my side. ”

Su Jinyao could see a little helplessness in the eyes of the nobles at this time. But in that helplessness, there was a bit of indifference.

Maybe it's really getting older, the years are no longer blooming, and the Yugui people feel that it doesn't matter if they are spoiled or not.

Su Jinyao didn't know how to answer for a while, so she simply diverted the topic and said, "Then Yugui has something else important?" ”

Yuguiren nodded and said, "Yes." The child is going back, and I want to ask the emperor for a ride. After all, she is pregnant, and she is pregnant...... I couldn't rest assured. ”

Yuguiren originally wanted to say that Mo Ma was pregnant with royal blood. But when I think about it, the second prince is not the bloodline of the Cang royal family, and this matter is undoubtedly equivalent to giving the emperor a hat, so it's better not to say it.

Su Jinyao also didn't expect that Yugui was still a good mother-in-law, and she was worried about her after only seeing Moma once.

Su Jinyao said: "I went to see her two days ago, she is fine, in fact, you don't have to worry." ”

"That's what I said, but after all, it's a long way to go, and it's also a wish that I can give her away." Yu Guiren said, his pace slowing down.

willow

Ya involuntarily slowed down with her, and turned her head to look at Yuguiren, wondering if she remembered something.

Yuguiren glanced left and right, and made sure that it was all the palace maids who were close to her and Su Jinyao, so she said in a low voice: "I met the crown princess today, which can be regarded as a coincidence." I'd like to ask the Crown Princess to help me say a few words. ”

"Say what?" Su Jinyao guessed: "Let me help you say, Moma needs your escort?" ”

"That's for the best." Yuguiren said, and said, "It's really not good, let me send her out of the capital." ”

Su Jinyao's mind was slightly moved, and she felt that Yu Guiren's words were very true.

But as soon as he thought about it again, a thought suddenly popped up in his mind, so he lowered his voice and asked, "Could it be that Yugui wants to ...... Leaving the capital? ”

"It's not." Yuguiren immediately denied it: "If I really leave, I'm afraid it will be bad for Qingfan and bad for Mao'er." So, I'm going to stay here anyway. Even if it is a hostage, at least it can make the emperor feel at ease, and he will not think that Qingfan has any other intentions. ”

Su Jinyao stared at Yu Guiren's eyes tightly, wanting to see what she meant by saying this.

Yuguiren smiled, calmly let go of his eyes and looked at Su Jinyao, and said indifferently: "From the moment I left Qingfan, I had no way out. For so many years, I have been content to raise Mao'er so that he can sit on the throne of Qingfan. ”
